Facebook updates iOS Messenger with option to view Timeline, call friends, more

Facebook released an update today for its standalone Messenger app for iOS, which now includes links to view a friend’s Timeline or call their cell phone if it’s been shared in their profile.

The app also allows users to see when their friends were last active to better gauge when they might reply to a message. Like the Facebook for Android version released this week, Messenger 1.9 now supports emoticons in messages.

When users open up a conversation thread, they will see their friend’s name at the top of the screen.
